Some feather Craft

I am very inspired by the arts of the Amazon. Especially the feather crafts.

 

I wanted to make some things that look like they may have been gathered from an exotic trip. So I have used hemp string of my own manufacture. I have not used any modern findings or methods. I am also very interested in 'Bush Craft' and indigenous cultures. Also I like to try and imagine what my Palaeolithic ancestors may have made as an expression of their identity and culture.

 

Hair decoration inspired by the art of the indigenous Amazon people.

 

Above you can see body feathers of the Macaw. Each feather is individually attached to my own hemp string.

 

And the end is decorated with Amazon Parrot Tail feathers.
